### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Adequate as an introduction
*by D***N on March 9, 2013*

The history of Christian missions is a fascinating and multifaceted topic, and Stephen Neill does a decent job of distilling it in his book. Given that from the issuing of the Great Commission to the present, Christian missions have had nearly two millennia to spread throughout the globe, a comprehensive study would take several volumes. (Such a comprehensive study was attempted by Kenneth Scott LaTourette in his seven-volume "History of the Expansion of Christianity." This work, which is detailed beyond belief, suffers only in that it covers only to around the middle of the twentieth century.) All of which is to say that Neill's work is not comprehensive. However, it provides a decent introduction to the major periods in the mission of the church over its history. Even so, some of the fascinating stories are told more briefly than I would have liked. (Although Neill makes a valiant attempt to describe the Jesuit missionary work in Asia during the age of exploration and shortly thereafter, I found that he glossed over many of the fascinating details of the penetration of Christianity into cultures, such as the Chinese, that were initially thoroughly resistant.) I should also note that the Second Edition, which is the last update (as far as I know), was done in 1986. As a result, many of the more recent stories are left untold, such as the rapid spread of Christianity in sub-Sahara Africa and the Pentecostal revival in South America, the reopening of the former Communist countries of Eastern Europe to the Gospel, and the advance of the faith in the face of persecution in China. Perhaps some day someone will do us a service and will update this book so that it will include these fascinating stories.
